I hope to actually add to the Picaxe body of knowledge for a change, and document how to get these sensors working with the Picaxe, and also report back on exactly what they can do.

Why did I choose these particular sensors? Oh, no reason, really. I'm just a curious, like a monkey, and with equal electronics skill.
Once I have them working I will be happy to do whatever experiments the board wants. For instance, I know Dippy will want me to try and record the blood perfusion in an area of my brain, through the skin and skull with the ultra sensitive TSL237. That guy is such a dreamer. Then he will want to see how the infrared TSL245 sensor responds to heat.
Call him crazy, but let's all humor him ;-)
